When you transform the keys to lowercase for a case-insensitive lookup, keep the old name around for printing later.
#! /usr/bin/perl
%hash1 = ("John", 43, "Paul", 25, "Marie", 22);
%hash2 = ("john", 43, "Paul", 25, "marie", 22);
my %lc_hash1 = map { lc $_ => { name => $_,
value => $hash1{$_} }
} keys %hash1;
while (($KEY_2, $VALUE_2) = each %hash2){
if (exists $lc_hash1{lc $KEY_2}){
print "$KEY_2 : Matched\n";
}
else{
print "$KEY_2 : Did not match\n";
}
}
Now you can use $lc_hash1{$SOMEKEY}{name} for the original key and $lc_hash1{$SOMEKEY}{value} for the value.
